‘I Got CTE From Watching that Fight’- Henry Cejudo Makes Fun of Floyd Mayweather’s Fight
Follow Us
Former UFC champion Henry Cejudo sat down with Helen Yee and commented on the recent boxing exhibition spectacle that transpired. Floyd Mayweather faced Logan Paul in an 8-round exhibition bout that left plenty to be desired in the eyes of fans. The general complaint was that Floyd Mayweather wasn’t pushing the pace enough against a novice in Paul.
However, Logan Paul used his size effectively as he clinched up ‘Money’ Mayweather at every available opportunity. Despite Logan’s best attempts, Floyd Mayweather remained in control but never landed a knockdown. ‘Triple C’ was one fighter who wasn’t too pleased with the aforementioned exhibition and called out Mayweather.
“I would love to fight Floyd ‘Wasted Money’ Mayweather with his pillow hands. Over there hugging on Jake [Logan] Paul for about 8 rounds. I got CTE from watching that fight.”

Social media was ablaze with memes of Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather ‘hugging’ due to the excessive clinch action. Furthermore, the fact that Mayweather didn’t dispatch a 0-1 newcomer was irksome for most hardcore boxing fans. The exhibition sparked a debate about whether Mayweather’s performance undercut the sport of boxing.

His return coming in a bout against Floyd Mayweather is rather unlikely, no matter what Cejudo would have you believe. After his scrap against Logan Paul, Mayweather more or less shut the door on a potential return. The general consensus is that the undefeated phenom may only consider a return if a fighter like Conor McGregor comes back to the table.
